The objective of the course is to improve your ability to understand the current European economic policies, to assess them independently and to present your views in both the oral (presentation) as well as written (short essay) form. These are all skills that are useful to many professions such as policy-makers, analysts in financial or international institutions, researchers, experts in public sector or journalists. These skills are especially important now in the post-crisis period, when many European economic policies change dramatically and when views on how they should be changed are diversed. |

There are various recourses from which you can study the subject: · Lecture notes: As there is no single textbook available to cover all issues, lecture notes are rather detailed to give you the most support possible when studying the subject. In annexes, complementary reading, selected models or terminology is attached to lecture notes. You can also quite easily google most of the concepts quoted in the lecture notes (in some cases, relevant websites are even quoted directly in lecture notes). Lecture notes are being gradually posted on website. · Background textbook: For those who need to revive the basics about the EU policies there is the background textbook available in the IES library. Search for Richard Baldwin, Charles Wyplosz: The Economics of European Integration, McGraw Hill, 4th edition, 2012. · Additional lecture readings (voluntary): A few papers will be suggested by presenter
· Important websites: For your essays and presentations (and to get additional insight), the following websites are worth checking:

The exam will take the form of an open-book essay. You will receive a list of topics from which you will pick one and will be required to write a well-structured essay. You will be expected to present your position on the topic and to support it with sound and solid arguments, ideally evidence-based and properly cited. You will have almost 5 days to work on the essay, so the expected standard is high. You will be provided with instruction on essay writing together with timing and deadline during the 10th week of the course. You will be allowed to use whatever resources you'd desire (course material, books, peer-reviewed articles). Good knowledge of the course materials will be necessary, though not sufficient. A good essay will require a little research outside the scope of this course. Grading A: 90+ to 100 B: 80+ to 90 C: 70+ to 80 D: 60+ to 70 E: 50+ to 60 F: 50 or less

This is an advanced policy course and therefore it has several prerequisites. First, you will need the ability to work with (and think critically of ) various resources (lectures, seminar readings, complementary reading list, background textbook, various websites) as there is no single textbook available to cover all issues that would be up-to-date, given how fast various European reforms proceed in recent years. Second, you will need knowledge corresponding to the content of the course "European Economic Integration" (JEB026). |
